Swiss Rave Shooting Suspect Suffering 'Psychologically'
Prosecutors say the 43-year-old suspect has psychological problems and stayed silent after surrendering, while police found two pistols and an AK-47 in his car.
- On Sunday, gunfire erupted at the annual Aarauer Rave in Aarau, Switzerland, killing a 22-year-old Italian woman and wounding five others when the suspect fired around 40 rounds.
- A 43-year-old Swiss man handed himself in to police in Delemont on Monday; Aargau cantonal prosecutor Christoph Ruedi said the suspect acted alone and suffers from 'psychological problems.'
- Police found two pistols and an AK-47 assault rifle in the suspect's car; five victims aged 24 to 31 received hospital treatment 'with injuries ranging from minor to serious.'
- Rave organisers said they were 'devastated' by the 'insidious attack,' stating 'A rave should always be a place of joy and love. Never a place where people are killed.' Local residents placed roses at the racecourse to honour the victim.
- Police chief Michael Leupold said the motive remains unclear and the suspect had no known extremist links. Despite widespread gun ownership, such shootings are rare in Switzerland, underscoring the incident's exceptional nature.
